The persons who committed the murder are believed to have crossed to the mainland.

The annexed extract from a newspaper gives all the information that is known about this crime.

On the 5th instant, a boat was hired at Shaukiwan. Again on the 7th instant, a man who had given information to the Police in Camshing cases was stabbed from behind whilst walking in a public street in broad daylight. He did not see his assailants, so could not recognise them; the bystanders did not interfere. The wounded man died one day afterwards in hospital.

When the murderers arrived near the Chinese shore, they stabbed the boat people, killing one of them, and carried off all the plunder that they could lay their hands on, amounting to only a little.

The murderers landed in Chinese territory.

An account of this murder is also given in the annexed extract from the Daily Press of 1st September 1896.

On the 11th instant, some scuffling took place during the day between two gangs of men, one of whom appeared to be engaged in bringing blackmail.
